The senior race starts at 7.30pm, while the junior one-mile event gets started at 7pm.

Race organisers are hopeful the whole race can be run on the sands.

Although patches of stone that form on the beach can often make it impossible for the majority of the five-mile event to take place along the seafront. Consequently, a partial road closure has been arranged just in case.

This is to ensure the safety of the runners and would operate between 7.30pm and 8.30pm on the race evening.
